happened last thursday morning at Maarat around 9am. coming back from Giant store with Brusko. at the left turn past the green warehouse,there was water paths on a bumpy part of the road.it got my front wheel,dont know how, lost control, i endoed or something, happened too fast and my reaction was not fast enough, slammed my chin on the ground, banged up my jaw, left ear bled, gashes on both arms and on the body, pretty shooked up, almost passed out. good thing people where present there at thtat time, helped me out, got me in an AUV up to the foot of maarat.there i was able to gain my composure or what's left of it. able to ride my way up to a friends house, his wife (a nurse) cleaned p most of my wounds, chin needed to be stitched and was unsure about the ear damage. Rode all the way back home to get cleaned and change clothes then went to the nearby hospital to get fully checked. xrays show everything clear from ribs to jaw, ear was ok, the wound was on the outer canal, got my chin stitched up. Now i look like i have tampons on my chin ;D sucks because left part of my jaw and my molars hurt and i cant eat properly. am on a soft diet for a couple of days, ribs are killing me a bit as well. pretty much bruised up but still breathing. will post pics of my wounds soon. THANK YOU BRUSKO FOR STICKIN' OUT FOR ME! I LOVE YOU !!!! HEHEEHE I OWE YOU ONE P.S. : now i think im starting to believe that people who will be celebrating their bdays are closer to danger

Hope you're doing fine!
That's really a very dangerous curve. My friend Alex got hit head-on by a motorcycle on that same curve.
Be careful guys!

tofi,
that was a nasty crash brad. i also crashed a couple of weeks ago and ended up with a bruised right elbow and yes, i consider it the nastiest crash i've ever had. (that's why i have to wear an elbow pad so i don't get to injure it again for faster healing). get well soon brad, take care.

one more thing, bithday celebrants seem to get unlucky before their actual birthday. it has happened to me too a couple of times. de-evolution or something i think.
